Under cabinet lighting is a very convenient and useful lighting application. As its name suggests, under cabinet lighting refers to lights that are installed under a cabinet, resulting in illumination of the area immediately below a row or section of cabinets. It is most commonly used in kitchen areas, where additional lighting is useful for food preparation.
There are several obvious advantages under cabinet lighting.
First of all, the under cabinet lighting is resourceful - instead of installing the whole lamp or ceiling lamp, the under cabinet lighting can be directly installed into a cabinet that has been fixed in place. Therefore, it can be very economical and effective under cabinet lighting, especially when considering the total cost of materials.
Secondly, under cabinet lighting can be a very efficient use of light. For example, the "efficiency" of the LED in the kitchen does not mean that there will be too much light under the counter, but that it will not overflow to the whole kitchen. Compared with chandeliers or table lamps that scatter light everywhere, cabinet lighting is a very effective choice.
Third, under cabinet lighting is aesthetically pleasing. It can not only improve the brightness and overall atmosphere of the kitchen, but also increase the resale value of the house. A significant advantage here is that the cabinet lighting is almost always completely hidden because it is installed below the cabinet lighting. In addition, since it is usually installed at a height below the head, most residents will not "look up" at the lamp, see wires or fixtures. All they saw was a bright beam of light falling on the kitchen counter.
Puck lights have traditionally been popular options for under cabinet lighting. They are short, cylindrical lights (shaped like a hockey puck) with a diameter of 2-3 inches.
Purchasing new under cabinet lighting for your home is an excellent choice, as it can enhance both the usability and aesthetics of a kitchen area. Keep in mind that with LED color options, choosing the correct color temperature and CRI can be important factors in your product purchasing decision.
